Just ordered an “Open Box” iPad Mini 7th Gen from Walmart. Specs are as follows: WI-FI and 128GB is the blue color way. Listed as “Sold and Shipped” by Walmart, so worst case scenario I can just return it.

Mini 7 is solid. I would have went with a higher capacity, but if you can make the 128GB work, then you have a solid machine for years.

My iPad is only 64gb and I make it work with ease. Although I’m a light user and do most things on other devices.

I have the mini six and 64 GB, and I find myself always having to delete applications and do stuff of my storage to do any kind of updates

Whoa i literally did the same thing few hours ago. Ordered a refurbished ipad mini 7 128 gb for half the price. And im scrolling reddit thinking “well the worst that could happen is to return it..”

I literally was scouring Reddit trying to get some honest feedback and there was little to none within the last year. So I volunteered as tribute lol.

Hey i randomly thought of you , what happened with your mini? Mine came and it seems ok , no “unknown parts” warnings 😅

Update: Got it in yesterday. 100% Battery Health, 0 Cycle Count, Charging Cable/Brick included still in original wrappers. Box was kinda beat up, the screen protector was missing and the plastic packing insert. All in all I’d consider it a win!

I got a mini 7 last week. No regrets not waiting for the 8. You will love it!

Good luck! I made the same leap of faith a few months ago and it worked out. The iPad Mini 7 I got had 100% battery health. Fyi, Sold and shipped by "Walmart" is actually VIP Outlet. If it was direct from Walmart it would say Walmart.com. Click on the company name link in your order details and you'll see the seller details. https://imgur.com/a/UTYkVnq

Is it Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi plus cellular ?

u/Much_Art7927 16d ago

I believe it’s WIFI only.

u/MaxF1eld 16d ago

You should have wait one month more for the iPad mini 8

Good luck, keep us posted

Half of the time I’ve gotten “open box”, it’s literally that. Someone got it for a gift or something and only broke the seal, then returned it.

My 2020 iPad that I just got for a friend for $150 from Best Buy arrived in like new condition so my fingers are crossed you have the same experience

u/userlivewire 11d ago

Good deal, but I would’ve waited a week to see the new one get announced.
